The rcw^it rebel raids nlong the railroad amounted to blood less raiding and the robbery of Chinese .storekeepers, Which the presence of a few government troops apparently stopped.

This state I ment will have its effect because of 'the fact that tho tin plate has always been considered as among the strong i holds of the Amalgamated Association and tho deal appears to have I'een brought ubont by the association de claring a strike Against the Tin IMato 1 Company after the scale for the yeav 1 had been signed. Notwithstanding I the fact that Iih Amalgamated, people claim justification on the ground that i their constitution provided for swii procedure, the officials of the Tin I Ma ! o I Company consider the action a breac h ! of trust and say tlfut henceforth they ' are determined logout loose from union ! labor entirely. 1 \ President Shaffer reiterated his positive statement lhat nil efforts for y*?ace that were being made by the Civic Federation were without authori ty from him. He said that if official overtures were made by the combine they would bo considered, but that was all. He denied that he knew of any move that was being mad<* in New York except what lie luts. seen JU- the. papers.

The one \daeo within this district where the stickers have scored a vic tory is at lrondale. O. . At this place the American Tin Plate .Company was compelled to clone down Its recently opened plant for )n*k of men to oper ate it. The day was full of excite ment in the little village and street fights came thick and fast for a time until the inhabitants were wrctigi: i. into a state of exeltoment bordering on terror. The first fight of the morn ing took place when live non union men left their homes and -started joy work In the mill. On tbeMpain street of the village thoy were' met by a par^y of about SO strikers, who by" moral suasion tried to get them to desist from their determination to go to work. When this failed a stronger argument wa3 used and the men were given a drubbing and driven baek to their homes. The village had scarcely rerovcred from the surprise whieh tfifs attack occasioned when word was passed around that a party of new men were driving overland from W< 1 s ville. Almost all the strikers at on? o started lo ipe?t carriage, and/vhen they passed the mill office Ira House holder, a non unlrm.vnian, shouted at them. The action prcrj^ttatcd a ftsMr Manager Banfietd saveoHiouseholder by dragging him inside and shutting the door with difficulty. ThajTin.

Charg ing the strikers with yiot..?but the jus tice refused to enter/aln* the charge, saying ho would issue warrants for those mixed In the fights charging as sault, but no more serious offense. The attorney then began the prepara tion of -papers for an injunction re straining the strikers from Interfering with non-unlonlsln in any way. It is learned that President T. J. Shaffer has sent out letters to all members of the executive committee of the Amalgamated Association in viting their approval of the peace plan agrped upon last Saturday by the representatives of the National Civic -Federation and tho- Ajaa4ganw*t??d- As sociation headquarters officials. The plan proposes: First, that the New York offer of July 7. made by Messrs- Schwab am Morgan, be accepted. Second, that a provisional scale he arranged but not signed for Painter's Lindsay and McCiftcheon's and the ,Clark mill, leaving recognition of the \inion open. Third, that the United States Steel Corporation formally declare Its at titude toward organized labor. Mil* declaration to take such form as will have a reassuring effect upon the men in the mills.

In an accident at the new r ?<! j Which the Southern Hallway is build in/; across the Congaree river, near Columbia, four men were killed ami Jhree injured, one fatally and two seriously. The accident occurred ai , &:3Q o'clock Monday morning and was ! caused by the falling of two steel | girders about seventy feet loiig. ! WOtghlrt? fourteen tons each. The two' ! girders were hoisted about midway o! , the liver above the bridge. The rain:? of the night previous had probably j caused the ropes holding them in ? place to flip. The crash came uwiih out the slightest warning and at tho, time when there wcro 7f> people on the bridge, spectators and workmen. Three of the men were pinned to the Jtrldgc and killed instantly, four more were knocked into the river, two *>f whom were rescued by a government j tug. which came up from the Congaree : locks, a quarter of a mile away. Tho i names of the dead and wounded are: S. J. Castleberry, killed; Reuben Alls ton. killed;- Job Debyas, killed; Jlui , Reese, drowned. The wounded are: ! David Stiles, fatally; A. T. Thornton, ' seriously; Sam Wfllifred, seriously, j All of the Injured live in Columbia. ! The river is considerably swollen at j present but will be dredged for tho : body of Jim Reese. Reese would prob ; ably have* escaped but he became ter rified and jumped to save himself, and } was drowned before the tug could ' reach him. The bridge Is beiueAuJ^t ! by the Phoenix Bridge CompaT?*of j Phalldelphia. The bridge was not ! damaged materially by the accident, though it is feared some of the Iron ? A-ork has been considerably strained In/ the falling of the girders. The Sea board Air Dine's tracks were Used ' by tho Southern until the wreckage could be cleared. A Fitting Monument. TH?
